TAHLEQUAH -- Brynn Baldon struck true on a penalty kick, while Whitney Gentry scored her second goal in as many matches to allow Northeastern State to take down Harding at DeLoache Field in a 2-0 win Sunday afternoon.

The RiverHawks (2-0) attacked often in the first half, with ten attempts against HU (0-2) and their two offerings in response. Baldon landed the first score of her NSU career by converting a PK in the 24th minute to give the team the lead at intermission. Gentry, assisted by Eileen Jeschke, made life a bit more difficult for the opposition with a follow-up in the 55th minute.

Down multiple goals, the visitors were unable to convert on any of their six tries across the match, as goalkeeper Rebecca Partyka got in front of all three on-goal attempts to log her second shutout of the campaign.

NSU continues the brief homestand Wednesday night when they battle Oklahoma Baptist at 6 pm at DeLoache Field. Read Full Article
